said it is a wonderful place to visit and if you have the money to live there.
A lot of our customers at the bar would come to us and say they had been to Puerto Banus and how amazing the place was with which I agreed but I always said to them that I felt Puerto Marina, right along the road was just as good as Puerto Banus. Years later as the port in Benalmadena Costa has grown and new features have been added to the port, Antonio Banderas buying an apartment there and Sealife setting up there also you realised that the place had potential. With the three islands there now and the added shops, restaurants and nightclubs the port had a lot of character. The recession has laid waste to a lot of great businesses there but I still say without a doubt that Puerto Marina in Benalmadena Costa is just as good as Puerto Banus.
